On the unbeaten run ending

We can win, we can lose. WE’ve won matches playing worse than we did on Sunday. Football is like that. We need to continue improving. Our analysis shows us it’s the first time we’ve conceded three goals in this process.

There’s no excuses because we don’t have a lot of centre-backs. I think it’s a little bit for all the players, all the positions on the pitch.

It’s also because they did their actions against us well. We need to improve by not conceding as many chances to the opposition. A clean sheet is very important in each match.

Tomorrow is the next. A scoring moment is very important and we are second for that in the Premier League. But we need to do better in our balance defensively and our hard work now is this.

On Spurs' motivation

I say to them that in every match, we need to respect the opposition. Against Southampton, against Tottenham, against Manchester United, against Huddersfield, it’s the same. This respect is by playing with a big motivation and a lot of excitement to win against them. We must respect this emotion in every moment. The emotion is not bad. I think showing our emotion, the players, the fans and me, is good. But every time we must respect them.

On the demands of a top manager

Each coach has their own way of management. They always think how they can be better with the work they do every day, their management team, and the players collectively and individually. They’re pushing with one way or another way.

Mourinho’s experience in the Premier League and of coaching in general is very, very big. It’s not good news, but I don’t know why this decision’s been made.

On Mourinho

The only thing I can say to you is that it’s a surprise for me and not good news, because when one coach finishes his work like that, it’s not good for coaches.

My focus is only on our way, our work. We have a lot of work to do to improve and also find a solution in every match with our players. My focus is on the big derby tomorrow, the north London derby, and that’s the focus of the players as well. Only that.

Squad selection

Our first idea is that we play with the best players that we can use tomorrow in this derby.

The opposition is very big and it’s demanding a big performance from us tomorrow. We can use some young players because we think with a big performance, they can help us win tomorrow.

Emery on banana-throwing

Following the news that a Spurs fan was banned for four years and fined £500 for throwing a banana on the pitch after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s first goal in the north London derby, Emery said:

This is not respect. I think [the ban and fine] is a good decision.

14:01

Emery on the NLD

We need to respect the opposition. To play with a big motivation to win. Emotion is not bad but every time we must show respect.

Football is emotion. To show emotion is very important but respect is very important. Football needs passion.

We need to improve. Southampton was not a good result but it gives us more motivation for continuing to work hard.

Emery on Mourinho's sacking

It’s not good news for us [as managers]. It was a surprise. My focus is only on the north London derby.
